Identity

The simplest function is the <#80#>identity<#80#> function, called Identity funnily enough, which is defined:

#math86#
Identity~x = x  

This, it must be admitted, is a pretty dull function, but it's a useful basic combinator. It can be implemented in TEX quite simply.
 
The rules around this definition mean that it is actually part of 14 and not just another example.
